Ricoh Caplio RR30 Changing the Exposure Exposure Comp, When your subject is whitish

Chapter 1 / Section 3 Using Special Features for Improved Photography

Changing the Exposure (EXPOSURE COMP.)

The exposure setting allows you to select brightness levels for your shots.

Normally, if your subject is centered, backlight compensation is automatically activated, and you can shoot with correct exposure. However, in the following cases, or when you intentionally want to change the exposure, you can change the exposure setting. Exposure can be specified in the range of -2.0 and +2.0.

For Backlighting

When the background is particularly bright, the subject will be dark (under-exposure).

When your subject is whitish

When you photograph a subject that is mainly white, it will turn out entirely dark, with people appearing dark, and white objects appearing greyish.

When your subject is darkish

When you photograph a subject that is mainly dark, it will turn out entirely bright (over- exposure), with people appearing white, and black objects appearing greyish. The same happens when you take photos of people in a spotlight.
